The ‘Gashina‘ goddess is back again, this time as a strong and sassy ‘Heroine,’ and the song is already a chart-topping HIT! The former Wonder Girls member was spotted on the road to Music Bank, leaving for work with some cozy fashion! Check out Sunmi’s winter look ,the latest epitome of the right way to do winter fashion ~

What do you think? Sunmi keeps it casual with white sneakers and a cozy turtleneck, but infuses many different fashion inspirations together for a graceful but hip new look. My favorite part of this outfit is most definitely the loose beige pants. They give off a very business-casual vibe, and it “contrasts perfectly” with the rest of Sunmi’s winter look . To complete the statement, Sunmi drapes a looong, cotton-textured coat and a “white as snow” handbag. This coat paired with long, loose pants emphasize her height and long legs.

Isn’t this the perfect winter outfit? Sunmi’s winter look emphasizescoziness and warmth, with very basic color schemes – beige, white, cream, black, grey. The contrasting black and white, along with Sunmi’s pale skin and ruby, red lips remind us a bit of Snow White… but can even Snow White compare with our ‘Gashina’ goddess?

No one can deny that the winter season is here ~ And while that means a lot of things we can’t help but dislike (below freezing temperatures, heavy clothing, snow shoveling), there are things that we can look forward to… including new hair trends fit for the winter season! It’s no secret that Kpop idols dye their hair basically every month: the warm seasons bringing out popping pastels while the winter seasons bring about darker Kpop hair looks. For all you ladies (and gentlemen) wanting to tone down your platinum blonde or fiery red hairstyles(or those of us who just want a natural color that will look good allwinter ) here are some ideas ~

Darker Kpop Hair Colors – Dark Brown

Not totally black but not a dirty blonde, this dark brown is a very natural color that just can’t go wrong! This hair color is most often used when needing to tone down blonde hair or other bright dyes.

Vibes : #mature #neat #poised

Red Velvet – Yeri

Apink – Park Chorong

Darker Kpop Hair Colors – Matte Brown

Matte brown isn’t a color in itself, but rather it describes the look of hair when it doesn’t include any bright tones or highlights. Ash, khaki, and milk brown are three very popular dyes for 2018 that fall into this matte brown category.

Vibes: #chic #vintage #mystical

Girls Day – Yura

Chungha

Darker Kpop Hair Colors – Choco Brown

Choco brown is widely known to be the best fitting color for Koreans, most likely due to the fact that its color makes our yellow-toned skin appear more vibrant and bright.

Vibes: #polished #luxurious #highclass #neat

Jessica

Blackpink – Rose

Darker Kpop Hair Colors – Black

If you want to give the appearance of a cold, ice princess,black is the color to go for. These days, black hair with the appearance of toned-down, very faint,blue highlights is the newest trend! The only down side to dyeing your hair black is the fact that it’s difficult to dye it bright again, so keep this in mind before going all-out black.

Vibes: #confident #sexy #cold #citygirl

Nine Muses – Kyungri

Lovelyz – Mijoo

BTS’ ’95 liners V and Jimin were spotted at the airport on their way to MAMA in Hong Kong, with fashion looks that drew attention in the hustling and bustling of screaming fans and picture-taking crowds, all trying to get a glimpse of the two famed and followed stars and the BTS MAMA Airport Fashion.

Before we start getting into the fashion analysis, can we take a moment to enjoy the amazingperformances that BTS put on for MAMA? Here’s one of my personal favorites… and I’m sure many other ARMYs will agree!

But back to BTS MAMA Airport Fashion. The ’95 liners definitely pulled off looks that were so themselves! And what gets more original than that?

BTS MAMA AIRPORT FASHION – V (TAEHYUNG)

Our little alien, with platinum hair and a large white mask, showed up at the airport with a long, white jacket almost reminiscent of an oversized raincoat. V showed off his individualitywith his oversized jacket and wide-fit pants. It seems our Tae, although he’s the fashionista he is. likes to be comfortable while looking fit for the catwalk.

The point is always in the accessories. His unbalanced drop earrings and sky blue/red scarf wrapped around his neck are the focus of the outfit. To complete his luxurious outfit, Taehyung pairs this look with beige, fur-lined loafers and a beige tote bag.

BTS MAMA AIRPORT FASHION – JIMIN

I’ve found that, most of the time, Jimin’s fashion can be described in two words: “boyfriend look.” Our chim-chim likes to stick to casualstreetwear when he can help it, and this airport look is no different.

With the usual tight fitting pants, Jimin wears a black-themed outfit with the pointbeing his green bomber. For accessories, Jimin wears a black baseball cap and shiny dress-casual shoes along with a black backpack for good measure.

It’s so interesting to see how these two ’95 liners are so different in their fashion style, and we love them both! Congratulations to BTS on their MAMA win, and we’ll hope to hear from them soon ~

Winter’s here, and for most of us skincare junkies, that means it’s time to add those extra two moisturizing steps into your daily routine. And, who can blame us for that? When the temperatures are below freezing and the wind is constantly blowing at 75 miles per hour every time you step outside, not putting on those extra layers of moisture seems like skin suicide. But, while we pile loads and loads of different serums and moisturizers, we forget to another important part of our face-our lips. Almost all of us will completely toss our lip care aside, but I think that we forget how important our lips are for looking healthy. Your skin could be glowing, but if your lips and crackling and pale, you’ll still look like you just climbed out of a hospital bed. There’s a reason why so many k-idols keep lip tint as their staple makeup item! Color and plumpness is important! Most of us will just slather on Vaseline or a thin lip balm, but just like your skincare, that probably won’t cut it during the winter. So, what should you do if you want to keep your lips soft and pink during the freezing winter? Just treat it like another skincare routine-layer and layer for your lip care! Let’s go through some steps recommended by Korean vloggers and experts from Get It Beauty for the ultimate Korean Lip Care Routine!

Korean Lip Care

Step One: Exfoliate!

Ask any Korean vlogger, and I’ll bet you that they have an extensive lip care routine as well as skincare routine. The first step? Exfoliation, of course! Make sure you aren’t too harsh on your lips! Choose something with natural exfoliants, like sugar and honey.

Step Two: Moisturize

Layer One

This next step is from a Get It Beauty episode from a while ago. After exfoliating your lips, take aloe vera gel, and slather it all over your lips. This works in the same way that a lip mask would. If you’d rather take the lip mask, go ahead! Even male idols like BAP’s Youngguk use these lip masks!

Layer 2: Lip Balm

After your first layer of moisture, now you go follow through with what we usually use on our lips- lip balm. Only, you don’t want to put it on as you normally would! According to the experts on Get It Beauty, you want to apply the lip balm upwards and downwards, following the natural lines of your lips. This way, you don’t damage the layer of skin on your lips!

Make sure to keep a lip balm at hand at all times, not just at the night! Girls’ Generation Sunny says that she never leaves the house without a lip balm of some sort. That would explain her million-dollarplump lips!

Anyone remember when this lip balm went viral?

Layer 3: Seal It All In! After your regular lip balm, you can seal the moisture in with either a heavy-duty moisturizer like Vaseline, or you can go in with a sleeping mask or serum. These products make sure to seal all the moisture in, and give your lips the final lock of all the dewy-ness!

Products like Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask are viral in Korea for their ability to lock in that extra moisture!

There’s your winter’s guide to the Korean Lip Care routine! Follow these steps, and you won’t ever have to see dry, colorless lips ever again!

Hello, everyone! I’m back after a week of hiatus… Sorry about that… Its been finals week so I’ve been off from the site for a while, but now we’re back. And you can look forward to some great winter-related posts! It’s hard to look cute in the wintertime, especially with all the puffy coats, boat-like boots, blanket-scarves, and TRON-like mittens, but this post will give you some great inspiration on idol winter outfit ideas ~ Keep in mind many of these looks can be pulled off by both girls and guys!

I think it’s so difficult to style great outfits in the winter due to the heavylayering that always goes on. It’s hard to show off your knit sweater with embellished detailing when your coat is covering everything from your shoulders to your knees. But you can always work that negative to your advantage! That’s why Kpop idols tend to focus on COAT FASHIONin the winter, and below you’ll see some common idol winter outfit ideas you’ll see on your favorite Kpop stars!

IDOL WINTER OUTFIT – TTEOKBOKKI COAT & BLACK SKIRTFor the girly girls who can’t give up their skirts despite the cold weather, this outfit is for you! A black skirt is essential to any girl’s closet, and IOI’s Jeon Somi, SNSD’s Taeyeon, and TWICE’s Dahyun pairs it with a Duffel Coat(commonly called a Tteokbokki Coat in Korea). Pairing the coat with a black skirt that comes right above the knees creates a graceful, girly look.

I finally found out why the coat is named after the spicy rice-cake dish! This throwback coat emanates a youthful and lovely aura, which reminds many Koreans of their school-age days, where they would stop by tteokbokki carts on their way to school.

IDOL WINTER OUTFIT – SHEEPSKIN COAT & JEANSI personally love sheepskin coats, so much so that I can’t help but stroke each one of them when there’s an aisle of them at the department store. Sheepskin coats are soft and stylish, keeping you warm and still looking fashionably fly: which is the main goal of all fashionistas in the winter months.

While EXID’s Hani and Red Velvet’s Yeri pair the coat with light jeans, ‘Gashina’s Sunmi goes for the GIRL-CRUSH look with dark jeans and a black sheepskin coat.

Speaking of Sunmi, have you seen the 2017 MAMA performance of Sunmi’s Gashina that happened just last week? Get ready to be shocked by SUNMI’s sexy performance, with an equally sexyTAEMIN featuring!!

IDOL WINTER OUTFIT – DOUBLE BUTTON COAT & HOODIEHoodies are the perfect casual look, while double-button coats are perfect formal-wear. Thus, the pairing of these two very different looks is the perfect combination of casual and formal. Like B1A4’s Jinyoung and actor Yang Se Jong, match this look with dark sneakers to pull off that ‘campus-senior’ vibe.

I like to refer to these kinds of looks as ‘the perfect-boyfriend’ looks, just because they give off such a nice aura: friendly, gentlemanly, formal, just all around perfect.

IDOL WINTER OUTFIT - LONG COAT & TURTLENECK KNIT

Trust me, it gets pretty cold in Minnesota, and so sometimes a coat just isn’t enough. For those days, pairing a long, flowing coat with a turtleneck knit sweater gives off just the perfect atmosphereof grace and makes you look like a fashion pro.

You can go the classic and simple way like actresses Yoon Seung Ah and Kim Ah Joong with the elegantOG pairings: plaid trench/white turtleneck, white turtleneck/skinny jeans, or go for a street style like JBJ’s Kwon Hyun Bin, incorporating some sporty styles here and there.

STYLING TIP: If you have a very round face, this style might not bring out your best features, so instead of a turtleneck, go for a a V-neck knit sweater!

IDOL WINTER OUTFIT – GREY COAT & BLACK KNITIf, like me, you’re a dark soul and have a mostly dark closet full of mostly black clothes, this might be your favorite pairing on this list. Grey is a great complement of black, and in fashion it’s no different.
